Davis's Apple

1815  [sketch of apple]

This is a very fair yellow apple,
the skin rather rough with a small portion
of russet at each end.  The stalk exceeding the 
usual length, in a deep cavity, the blossom end also sunk.
The size small about that of the Bullock Pippin,
but a rounder shape.  The flesh rich dry,
and yellow, is a good August and September
Cider Apple. Bears abundantly, but rots soon.
Obtained from Isaac Watson Bucks County
